Peanut Butter Blueberry Overnight Oats
Delicious peanut butter blueberry overnight oats taste like classic PB&J. These overnight oats are healthy with no sugar added, high fiber, and nutrient-dense with the addition of Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt to keep it vegan, chia seeds, and a homemade blueberry jam.
Overnight oats are perfect for a make-ahead breakfast. You can use any berry you like to make this peanut butter and jelly layered breakfast. Raspberries, blackberries, or blueberries turn into a delicious jam on the stovetop in just a matter of minutes. Simply use 1 cup of berries with 1/3 cup of water, a tablespoon of honey and a half teaspoon of lemon extract for a perfect homemade jam.
This may just become your family’s new favorite breakfast!
Ingredients
- vanilla Greek Yogurt or coconut yogur – or any flavor yogurt gives these overnight oats protein. I used the Silk almond milk Greek yogurt so they are dairy-free.
- almond milk – you can use any variety of plant-based milk or cow’s milk here. I recommend the unsweetened vanilla almond milk for a hint of vanilla flavor without added sugar.
- chia seeds – add fiber, protein, healthy fats, omega-3’s, and antioxidants. You could also add ground flaxseeds as you won’t taste it, but you will load up the overnight oats with nutrients!
- rolled oats – We use whole grain rolled oats, not quick-cooking oats in this recipe.
- fresh blueberries – you could possibly use frozen blueberries in the oats filling, and definitely for the homemade jam, but not for the topping as you’d be eating frozen berries
- homemade blueberry jam – see the recipe below. It’s so easy to make and I use it to top homemade waffles and pancakes. It’s syrupy and does not contain pectin, so it’s not a true jam, but it works perfectly for this recipe. Naturally sweetened with just a tablespoon of honey, it is delicious! If you prefer to use a jarred jam, that is perfectly fine. Try to find one with all-natural ingredients and no high fructose corn syrup.
- peanut butter – I used Skippy no sugar peanut butter. It’s delicious and has no added sugar, which keeps this breakfast low sugar.
Homemade Blueberry Jam
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
How to Make Blueberry Peanut Butter overnight oats
In a medium bowl add the yogurt, almond milk, chia seeds, and oats and stir until incorporated. Add the blueberries and stir well. Cover the bowl and place it into the refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight.
Meanwhile, prepare the blueberry jam. Place 1 cup of blueberries into a small saucepan. Add the water and honey and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, stirring often, breaking up the blueberries with a spoon. Simmer for 4-5 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and add the lemon extract. Stir to incorporate. Place the jam into a small mason jar or food storage container with a lid. Refrigerate until ready to assemble the overnight oats.
When ready to assemble, heat the peanut butter in a glass bowl for one minute so that it is drippy and easier to layer over the oats.
In a 12 oz mason jar or bodega glass, layer the oats, jam, and peanut butter, followed by a dollop of oats on the top. Top with fresh blueberries if desired. The layers may get messy, but that is ok because it all gets mixed together when you eat it. Either refrigerate and enjoy later or eat right away.
Overnight oats are meant to be eaten cold.
You will have some blueberry jam leftover. Use it for a topping on toast, over waffles, or to make more overnight oats.
Any berries will work here for the jam and topping.
